Hey that's cool, I didn't have much gear but there's a computer museum (basically just one obsessed guy!) in the local University here where I saw some of that stuff in action.

I will definitely do some blogs about my C64 experiences, I learned some ASM and machine code for it, learned about how the memory works, and that beautiful musical SID chip! I am just about old enough to have caught the end of the era from the UK, I count that as lucky.

Will definitely check out your school, looking for ways to get to know the place. Muchos gracias for your comment.
